She's just fifteen but is swimming like a mermaid in this ocean world of Sri Lanka at the ongoing South Asian Federation (SAF) Games. Blushing like any other teen would, this girl from Navi Mumbai, is however, well aware of the challenges and the goals she aims to achieve.
Having already splashed four golds at the SAF games, she now wants two more. "I came here expecting to win all six and I'm hopeful of doing so," said Lekha Kamath, the std. X student of Father Agnel High School (Vashi).
Lekha has so far won the 100m freestyle, 100m butterfly, 50m butterfly and the 4x100m team relay golds besides setting a new Games mark in the 50m freestyle.
"It's been a very nice and enriching experience. There has been a lot of encouragement from our coach (Gokul Kamath)." said Lekha. Kamath, also from Vashi, has been coaching Lekha since she was nine years old. Tuesday was an off day for Lekha before she hits the pool again on Wednesday in the hope of scooping two more medals.
